.ILIOS(SUN)
His mother had an established business as a leading clothes
importer in Greece and was already recognized within the Greek fashion industry
when Vassilios, as a nine year old boy, visited her studio in downtown Athens, and started getting involved in the magical world of fashion and design.
By 1990 he had launched his own label name VASSILIOS KOSTETSOS and opened his first studio in the fashionable district of Kolonaki in Athens. In the same year he presented his first haute couture collection.
VASSILIOS KOSTETSOS quickly established his reputation and proved his
excellence as one of the major fashion designers in Greece, at a very young age.
He organizes two big fashion shows every year with haute couture creations, and
has enjoyed working with some of the world's major international super models such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbel, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Carla Bruni, Tatiana Patitz, Nadjia Auermann, Michele Hicks , Marcus Schenkenberg, Eva Herzigova , Karen Mulder, Care Otis, Tasha de Vasconcelos, Ester Canadas, Eugenia Volodina, Carmen Kass.
His collections have also been presented in Dusseldorf, Germany, New Delhi International fashion week, India and Covent Garden, London. His current lines are:

Shows and Inspirations
VASSILIOS KOSTETSOS loves to stage fashion shows with a difference, so in 2000 and 2001 he surprised the Greek fashion world with two spectacular fashion shows, the first in the Athens Central Train Station (where the show was actually held inside the Central Trains station) and the second, inside an airplane during the flight, flying from Athens to Leros island. The last three seasons he lives between Athens and New York presenting his collections to the USA market that he adores!
Creatively, the last decade has been fantastically successful for VASSILIOS!
